第二次世界大战时期日军对盟军的战俘政策析论——以沈阳盟军战俘营的日美战俘信息交换为例

An Analysis of Japanese Army's Policy towards the Prisoners of War of the Allies during World War Ⅱ

深入探讨二战时期日军对盟军的战俘政策,可以了解当时日军的战争态度,以及日本国家集体层面的对美英态度。沈阳盟军战俘营为二战时期日军在中国大陆设立的唯一一所关押英美盟军战俘的战俘营,通过对日美之间围绕该战俘营的战俘信息交换的研究,对于了解日军对盟军的战俘政策具有典型性。本文认为日军对待美英战俘基本遵守了国际战俘公约,然而日军对待中国战俘却没有遵守相关国际公约,存在着明显的虐俘行为。因此,探讨导致其差别的深层历史原因具有重要意义。

A thorough study of the Japanese army's policy towards the prisoners of war(POWs)of the Allies during World War Ⅱ can help to know the Japanese army's attitude towards the war,and Japan's attitude towards America and the UK at the country level.The Shenyang prison-of-war camp was the only one established by the Japanese army in the mainland of China during World War Ⅱ.Therefore a study of the correspondence between Japan and the United States concerning the war prisoners is a key to understand the Japanese army's policy towards the relevant issues.This thesis argues that the Japanese army generally abode by the International War Criminal Convention in treating American and British POWs,whereas Chinese POWs were not treated accordingly and obvious discrimination existed.Therefore,it is significant to study the comprehensive historical factors for the difference.
